National Association of the Deaf

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) has been fighting for the civil rights of the deaf and hard of hearing Americans since 1880. As a national federation of state associations and affiliates, NAD offers grassroots and youth leadership development, and legal expertise across a broad spectrum of areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, accessibility, education, employment, healthcare, mental health, rehabilitation, technology, telecommunications and transportation. NAD maintains a web site where the general public can obtain information and resources.
